Don't Make Me Say It

Five o'clock already
No time for sleep
Off to work again and I'm on the brink
Of breaking everything I see
I ain't all that's wrong with me
Somebody tell my brain to tell my lungs to breathe
I'm a piece of work
And I am rude
That's what I hear nobody say when nobody wants me to
I've been reckless in my youth
Serotonin shined these boots
God help your soul if you're still trying to find the truth

I get down most of the time
And I'd be lying if I said I'm unaffected by
The things on my mind
Don't you make me say it
Keep your head up

Get that straightjacket ready
Here's the second verse
I won't feel a thing I say since I ain't got the nerve
Russian roulette against myself
And they're still trying to get me help
You cannot understand the pain you haven't felt
Here I go again
I'm falling down
How can I help myself if myself ain't been around
And I might die before I lose
Sometimes that's what it comes down to
Do you still think that it's a choice to sing the blues

I get down most of the time
And I'd be lying if I said I'm unaffected by
The things on my mind
Don't you make me say it
Keep your head up

I'm misunderstood
I am confusing at the best of times
I can be insufferable
I'm not convinced I'm of a sound mind
I've been a burden to put it kindly
I tolerate myself but try not to mind me
I am scattered thoughts and scattered lines of scattered rhyme schemes
I don't believe emotions and feelings are the same
I lose my keys and my wallet almost every day
But somehow I don't lose my faith
I know that God my soul has claimed
There's forgiveness for what's insane
You know that we're all just one bad day away

I get down most of the time
And I'd be lying if I said I'm unaffected by
The things on my mind
Don't you make me say it
But I get down most of the time
And I'd be lying if I said I'm unaffected by
The things on my mind
Don't you make me say it
Keep your head up
